-1. Run "`easy_install pip`".
-1. Run "`pip install buildbot-slave`". Do this in a virtualenv if you prefer. (If this doesn't work, see the instructions on the [Buildbot trac](http://trac.buildbot.net/wiki/DownloadInstall) for installing buildbot-slave.)

+1. Create a virtualenv for the Buildbot slave: `virtualenv /path/to/environment`
+1. Install the Buildbot slave software and dependencies in the virtualenv: `/path/to/environment/bin/pip install buildbot-slave==0.8.14`
+1. Use `buildslave` and `buildbot` commands from `/path/to/environment/bin/` in the steps detailed below to configure and start your buildslave (activate the virtualenv to put them on your `$PATH`: `. /path/to/environment/bin/activate`).
 
 A buildslave makes TCP connections to the buildmaster, which `tahoe-lafs.org` operates.  You do not need a publicly routable IP address.
